Alger County has had 1 major disaster declaration since 2000. Declared disasters like this can interrupt power, water, and road access to commercial kitchens.

Major construction

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an elementary school cafeteria in Chatham
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Chatham's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Suppose an elementary school cafeteria in Chatham schedules a 2-month renovation, replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-75 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 2-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $13,780 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
